JOHN MCGANN'S DEVELOPING MELODIC VARIATIONS ON FIDDLE TUNES, M

Book/CD set. Presents standard fiddle tunes in basic form, then, phrase-by-phrase, shows you how to create improvisations based on the melodic structure unique to each tune. Each tune is presented in its basic form, then with four variations. The variations are printed directly beneath the melody with the corresponding measures aligned, so that you can easily compare. The CD features mandolin and rhythm guitar on separate channels, so you can turn off the lead and play along with the rhythm, or vice versa.
